Dress by Amanda Wakeley; shoes from McQueen

After 6 years of being together since highschool, the Significant Other and I tied the knot on the 24th of September in an orangery in Warsaw with a small group of close family and friends. Mrs Significant Other… I’m still having difficulty getting my head around that new title, and really should stop introducing my new-husband as my boyfriend. Months before the wedding we both took a day-trip up to Bicester Village and dug at the rails in quest of eachother’s garms, and we stumbled upon a beautiful white Amanda Wakeley dress that had a 90% knock-down, and a Boss suit for him and that was that. We loved that we were making it our own wedding, no frills – literally! Finding a photographer proved most challenging though – after cringing sessions of Googling ‘Wedding Photographers’, we thought we’d have to install CCTV at the venue and just live with that, but it luck led us to SnapStudio and we got four amazing shooters who were light on their feet and caught some heavy action. Looking back, I wouldn’t have done a single thing different, it was a perfect day and I’m so happy to be able to share it with you.

Shini, thank you so much for sharing such a special day in your life. You look beyond magical and beautiful in your wedding and traditional attires. So happy for you two, and wishing you the most happiness a couple could ever ask for. x

Oh Shini, congratulations to you and your significant other!!! You looks absolutely *beautiful* – I love that you stayed true to yourself and went ‘no frills’ (exactly how I’d do it too), and your session photos are SO adorable!

Shini, your dress was gorgeous and so were you. Many, many congratulations and tidings of joy to you and your husband (though the wedding’s been long past). He’s lucky to have you, and you are both so lucky to have found each other! Your hanbok is also gorgeous, and a wonderful touch.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
:)
I used to read your blog daily, then uni got in the way. Somehow this post popped up on my facebook news feed and im so happy for you! I had no idea your husband was your highschool sweetheart. It actually gives me hope now because all of my friends around me are whizzing though new boyfriends and im still with my high school boyfriend. yay for you! grats again!

Congratulations Shini! I’m so happy you did a post on this – after i bumped into you on the street the other day, I was so curious to see how you had everything, and its just as sweet as I imagined!
The pictures are beyond perfect, i’m so super happy for you! x

You both look lovely and very elegant and yay for getting a hanbok! The photos look amazing!! The last three are so fun!! Big congratulations to you two!! Sorry again for not being able to be there in person.

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing these photos even though you might have wanted to keep your personal life private. You looked stunning, your husband looked handsome, and the event looked beautiful and intimate!

It didn’t hit me even after seeing the title. I saw the first photo and kept scrolling back upwards to look at it again because I thought you looked absolutely beautiful!!!!!! And then I read the post and realised and went OH SHE IS MARRIED OMGGGG!! My mum thought I was mad.

Congratulations!!! I agree, the hanbok’s my fav. :)

Didn’t know that you got married.Congratulations! I feel kinda a failed-fan of yours.=/ did saw a ring on your finger at the earlier post and thought you were engaged.love the shoes and the dress =) <3

Thousands of words of congratulations cannot express the joy I am feeling at the moment. I shrieked with excitement upon reading this post, and I truly hope you and your significant other will find longlasting happiness within each other. Congratulations Shini and S.O., and thank you for sharing brief moments of a milestone with us. Your wedding looked like something I would want in the future–simple but from the heart.

Tell your significant other that he is a very, very lucky guy to have a girl like you. :)

oh my, congratulations! shini, you make such a beautiful bride. the dress is understated and gorgeous in its simplicity. i got progressively more confused and excited as i scrolled down. adorable photos that do justice to you two!

OMG!!! Congratulations love! So IN LOVE with these photos~ love the lens/color quality. With that slight vintage feel, they captured the moments beautifully. This further establishes your good eye and taste ;)
You look beautiful and it’s awesome the dress isn’t white-white. the how the soft fabric flows, very goddess-like. Gahhh can’t get over how wonderful everything looks. You two are super cute. Again, Congrats Mrs.!!! Wishing you both beautiful and happy days, and becoming the best of partners~~~

This is so beautiful Shini! Super congratulations, you and your new hub make a perfect couple. All these shots are so perfect, so natural and beautiful without the need for posey posey, it must have been so hard to find a wedding photographer that suits your style but I’m glad Snapstudio came along! xx

Congratulations! Wow, you both looked so beautiful and happy! And Warsaw Orangery seems like the perfect place for wedding.

Congratulations Shini! There are no words to describe how beautiful these shots are. You looked gorgeous and made quite the dapper couple haha. The dress and shoes are TDF and I love your traditional attire :)

Oh Shini, you look gorgeous! Love how cute the photo section was, and definitely love your dresses too. I can see what happiness means from how you were leaning on Mr. Significant’s shoulder :)
Congrats & may God bless you both forever and ever!!

I got goose pimples as I was looking down the photo line and discovering YOU GOT MARRIED! Congratulations you both and have a charming life. You looked just impossible in both dresses, I cannot say how much I like your looks. And Belvedere just seems to be the bespoke place for a day like that :)
:*

Oh Shini – in true xfactor speak – this must be the post of the season which makes a wedding phobic like me (took 10 years to overcome the fear) a sobbing romantic, scrambling to find the ol’ wedding dress and do it all again. Beautiful location, gorgeous dress, the groom couldn’t be more knightish and you look simply radiant.
Would love to hear more about the Korean (?) wedding dress you’re wearing.

Sarah explicitly told me to send you lots of love and Congratulations. X

First of all, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.
And second of all, how pretty are those pictures!!! i especially love the one in the diner but they’re all truly beautiful – to cherish forever!

Beautiful, all so beautiful! congratulations!
btw I just saw you featured on everythingbutthedress.com, love your style.
